| Summary: | 【Abstract】Posterior dislocation of the shoulder may
be missed or neglected at initial presentation especially in
developing countries. We present a case of 40-year-old In-
dian man who had 3-month missed posterior dislocation of
the right shoulder along with malunited fracture of the ana-
tomical neck of the humerus. Open reduction and stabiliza-
tion with modified McLaughlin procedure was performed.
Rotational osteotomy of proximal humerus had to be per-
formed as supplementary procedure to keep the humeral
head stable in glenoid cavity during functional range of
movements. The patient had excellent result of the shoulder
at 3 years follow-up.
